SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – Skidmore College freshman Ginevra Muratori captured the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regional Singles Championship, becoming the program’s first singles champion since 2018. The victory highlighted a stellar final day for the Skidmore women’s tennis team, which hosted the tournament.
In the singles championship, Muratori secured a decisive 6-4, 6-2 victory over Victoria Wang of NYU. Her win qualifies her for the upcoming ITA Cup tournament.
